Five for Friday and Spring Cleaning Sale

Hi there, I'm linking up with Doodles Bugs Teaching for a Five for Friday Linky Party! Link up and share five random things by clicking on the button below!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Number One: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I am on SPRING BREAK! It officially started today and we will be out all next week as well! I can't wait to stay up late and sleep in with NO alarm clock! See my to-do list in the e-card below :)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Number Two: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I worked like a crazy woman every night this week to revamp my Common Core Math Quick Assessments (Grades 1, 2, and 3) after such a positive response to the revamped Common Core ELA Graphic Organizers. Click on any of the pictures below to take you to the product in my TPT Store. Remember, if you have already purchased any of these products, you can get the updated, revamped file for FREE! Just go to your TPT home page and click "My Purchases", find the product, and click "Download Now" to get the cute, new version at no extra charge.

1st Grade:

2nd Grade:

3rd Grade:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Number Three: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Non-Teaching Related: With all of my family's health issues that happened this winter, I decided it was time to get back to the gym. Well, I went back alright....Monday. Then I was so sore I could barely walk the rest of the week, so I'll try again....Next Monday. The e-card below says it all. Sad but true, my friends, sad but true.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Number Four: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I was blessed to go to a Leader in Me Symposium last week. We are a Leader in Me school, well county actually. It is an absolutely wonderful program! If you have never heard of the Leader in Me, you can find out more at {this website}. I was so very honored to hear Ron Clark speak at the symposium and all I can say is wow! He is one inspiring man! Check out the Ron Clark Academy {here}. If you ever get a chance to hear him speak, you should jump on it! He has some pretty awesome videos on YouTube also.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Number Five: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Since today marks my first day of spring break, it's time to relax, rejuvenate, and do some spring cleaning! Now I'm not talking about my house, because Lord knows THAT stays a hot mess. I am referring to my TPT wish list. Mine is getting pretty full at this point and so I, along with many other blogger friends (see below), are having a fun two-day sale this weekend. On Saturday and Sunday, feel free to clean out your TPT wish list and save on ALL items in my TPT Store - 20% OFF, my friends! It would be a great time to stock up on the rest of my monthly Common Core Writing Activities if you don't have them all or are just finding them late in the year! I know I will be doing lots of "spring cleaning" as well....on TPT though, definitely not my house. :)
